F1 in Schools™ - Entry Class UK Competition Guidebook 2019-2020


Welcome to the world F1 in Schools™, you’re in for an exciting ride!

The F1 in Schools™ Entry Class is your first step on the way to becoming World Champions, starting off with the chance to be crowned Regional Champions in your first season…

This guidebook contains everything you need to know to design and make a car, ready to compete at your

nearest F1 in Schools Race Day. It’s as easy as 1,2,3 – or in our case, Design, Make, Race!

Project action plan:

1. REGISTER AND READ THE RULES!

•Register your team at f1inschools.co.uk so we know you are competing this year. Then as a team, read this guide very carefully one section at a time, so your design will be fit to race. Pay EXTRA SPECIAL attention to the Technical Regulations, which are explained on page 9.

2. Get your Entry Class starter kit from isupply3d.com

•The starter kit contains all the standard components required to design and make your F1 in Schools Entry Class car. Please note: all Entry Class cars must be manufactured using this kit.

3. Design the F1® car of the future

•Have a go at our IsoSketch® tutorial, which shows you how to sketch the basic chassis of your F1 in Schools Entry Class car. Then start designing a super cool aerodynamic body and some sleek wings onto the chassis. Remember no idea is too crazy at this stage, so do loads of sketches to experiment...

4. Download the Entry Class CAD files from f1inschools.co.uk

•There are 4 Entry Class CAD models that can be downloaded to help you build your car. These are: F1®

model block, body ‘no-go-zone’, standard wheel and the standard axle.

5. Turn your ideas into a CAD drawing

•Using the 3D parts listed above and any 3D CAD package that you have available, turn your freehand sketches into an accurate 3D CAD model.

6. Start making your car!

•Make sure your design is fully legal before manufacturing your car. Decide how best to produce your car, using either a CNC router, a 3D printer or manual workshop tools, then get cracking!

7. Create a 5-page Design & Engineering Portfolio

•The judges want to see a 5-page Design & Engineering Portfolio on Race Day. This should show sketches, models, CAD work and testing to explain how you designed, developed and manufactured your car.

8. Create a 5-minute Verbal Presentation

•As a team, you must put together a verbal (spoken) presentation that lasts no longer than 5 minutes. You can use a powerpoint presentation to help you along, but it's all about speaking directly to the judges!

9. Create a table-top display for your Team Pit Area

•There will be an award for the best Team Pit Display on Race Day, so get creative to show off your team! Thnk about this like your team's shop front, maybe even with some small giveaway promotional items...

10. ROCK UP ON RACE DAY!

•Attend your nearest F1 in Schools Race Day to ready to compete! See f1inschools.co.uk for full details

What is an Entry Class car? 06 What is the ‘no-go-zone’? 07 Design Brief 08 Car Scrutineering 09

CAR DESIGN



What is an Entry Class car?

Don’t worry if you’ve never heard of ‘side pods’ or ‘wingspan’ before, the next few pages explain everything

you need to know about designing your mini F1® racing car to meet the UK Entry Class rules. Read through the

following pages very carefully as a team!

Your F1 in Schools™ Entry Class car must have these features:

What is the car body?

The car body is the main bulk of your Entry Class car. It is the middle section that the front and rear wings,

axles and wheels are all attached to. Depending on how you make your car, this is manufactured from either

the F1® model block or any 3D printing material and must be manufactured according to the ‘no-go-zone’

(don’t worry – this is explained on the next page!).

Wing design explained:

• A leading edge is the edge of the wing that cuts through the air first.

• The trailing edge is the edge that the air touches last as it leaves the wing.

• Wing span is a bit like the arm span of a human, or the wing span of a bird or plane. It is the total

width of the wings, including the nose cone or body of the car.

• Wing chord is the widest point of the wing’s cross section, between the leading and trailing edges.

• Wing thickness is the deepest point of the wing across it’s cross section.

These terms are all shown on the diagram below, make sure you understand what they all mean!

What is the ‘no-go-zone’?

Entry Class cars must be safe to race down our 20m elevated racetrack, powered by a

CO2 cartridge. To ensure this, the F1 in Schools rules committee has created a ‘no-go-zone’

that car designers MUST use as a minimum for the body of their car. Think of this like

starting with a basic shape that you add to, to create the shape of your car.

The ‘no-go-zone’ has been carefully designed so you can still make your Entry Class car look

like a real F1® racing car, so use all your imagination and styling ideas to make sure your car

doesn’t just look like the no-go-zone with some wheels stuck to it!

The ‘no-go-zone’:

Below is an illustration of the Entry Class no-go-zone, showing the minimum shape of your

car body. With the exception of your two (2) axle holes, it is a PERFORMANCE

regulation that you don’t cut or machine inside the no-go-zone, so make sure you measure

and make your body carefully to avoid losing out on lots of points!

Technical Regulations are explained on Page 9.

Note: The best way to start designing your Entry Class car is to watch our IsoSketch®

tutorial on YouTube, for a step-by-step guide to sketching the no-go-zone. After that, you

can get really creative with the body, add some crazy wings and unique styling features to

your car! Full dimensions can be also found at the back of this guidebook in Appendix ii.

The Design Brief Your task is to design, make and race a miniature F1® racing car, which will race down the F1 in Schools

20m elevated racetrack, powered by a compressed CO2 cartridge. You must use a range of techniques to

show design work, including freehand 3D sketches and 3D CAD development drawings.

Your car must include the following features:

• F1® style body including side pods

• Front wing

• Rear wing

• Standard F1 in Schools wheels, axles and axle guide tubes

Note: See ‘Car Scrutineering’ (next page) for all body and wing dimensions

In Entry Class, there are three manufacturing options for your car body:

• Option 1: The car body can be manufactured using a 3D CAM router (such as the Denford

MRC40) from the official F1® Model Block

• Option 2: The car body can be manufactured using traditional workshop tools (such as fret saws,

rotational multi-tools, band saws, pillar drills, milling machines) from the official F1® Model Block

• Option 3: The car body can be manufactured entirely using a 3D printer (such as the Up Plus 2)

using any 3D printing material, in one piece or as multiple parts.

You can manufacture the front and rear wings of your car using any manufacturing method and material

combination. Be creative but remember that the wings are usually the most fragile parts of the car!

Now turn over for a checklist of how to design your F1 in Schools Entry Class car…

The Car:

ASSESSMENT



Research Mission On Race Day, your first task in the Entry Class will be your Research Mission. This is your chance to visit

all the competing teams from Development and Professional Class, ask questions and look at their work to

find out more about F1 in Schools. The judges will ask you to answer questions about your Research

Mission later in the day after your verbal presentation, so make sure you cover all the key questions!

Think of the ‘Key questions’ as essential knowledge of the F1 in Schools STEM Challenge. These are

questions that the judges will expect you to be able to answer, from asking Development and Professional

Class teams and using your investigative powers in the pit display area! Make sure the whole team

understands the answers, as sometimes the judges like to ask more difficult questions that build on your

understanding of the topics…

These questions give you the opportunity to speak for longer, to explain your thoughts and reflections

having completed the Entry Class project. They might encourage you to talk about:

• How the competition has gone this year

• What you would do differently if you had the chance

• How you will prepare to return as a Development Class team

The judges will ask you both Key and Reflective questions at the end of your verbal presentation, so make

sure you are feeling ready and prepared to tell the judges all about your day and how much you’ve learned

along the way!

Note: Your Research Mission will be given to you on Race Day, so there’s no need to worry

about this before you turn up to the event. Just focus on getting your Design & Engineering

Portfolio and Verbal Presentation finished to a standard that you are proud to show.

Key questions:

Reflective questions:



Design & Engineering Portfolio

You must produce a printed (or ‘hard-copy’) 5-page Design & Engineering Portfolio to show to the judges

on Race Day, explaining how you designed, tested and made your F1 in Schools racing car. Below is a

checklist of suggestions for what to include in your Design & Engineering Portfolio.

Your Design & Engineering Portfolio should contain evidence of the following:

• Initial ideas – including 3D freehand sketches

• Design development – including images of any models, CAD work and testing

• Team Graphic Identity – Including team name, logo and car livery (colour scheme and patterns)

• CAD – including 3rd angle orthographic (top, front and side) and 3D views of your final design

• Project Evaluation – including anything you didn’t manage to do this time

The format of your Design & Engineering Portfolio is up to you, choose between either:

• A4 – landscape or portrait

• A3 – landscape or portrait

Note: Please make sure your Design & Engineering Portfolio is printed in full colour and stapled or bound.

You may choose to include the following sections, which do NOT count towards your 5-page limit:

• Decorative front cover

• Contents page

Note: You MUST clearly display your team name on the front page of your Design & Engineering

Portfolio. Your Portfolio must be clearly displayed at your Pit Area on the morning of Race Day.

Format:

Additional Information:



Verbal Presentation

You must prepare a 5-minute verbal presentation to deliver to the judges on Race Day, explaining how

you got to where you are today and all the things you’ve learned so far in your F1 in Schools journey. You

may also produce an electronic presentation to accompany your verbal presentation if you wish.

Your verbal presentation is your chance to tell the judges your story! It is completely up to you how you

structure your presentation, but here are some suggestions to help make you stand out!

• Tell the judges why you got involved in F1 in Schools

• Describe what you found the most difficult – the judges appreciate honesty!

• Tell them which bits you have enjoyed the most

• Describe how you came up with the final design of your Entry Class car

• Explain how you went about manufacturing your car

There are NO rules about how to deliver your verbal presentation; do it stood on your head, sing the

judges a song, act it out like a school play. Just do what feels most comfortable to you. All we ask is that:

• Everyone takes part! – make sure every member of the team has a speaking part

• You don’t go over 5 minutes – the judges need to ask you questions so no waffling!

The judges will be asking you some questions to see what you have learned during your day at the Entry

Class Regional Final. These questions will be given to you on Race Day so be prepared to get investigating!

Note: Any electronic presentations MUST be saved to a memory stick. Please also bring a laptop

to run these presentations on, as we cannot provide one for you!

Research Mission:



Team Pit Display Each team is given a ‘Pit Area’ including a table on Race Day. This will become your base for the day and is

the perfect space to create a team display. This is not assessed as part of the competition, but the judges

are keeping their eyes peeled to give an award to the best display on the day. Make sure you stand out!

The Team Pit Display is your opportunity to share all your design work, models and prototypes, creating

an attractive area that teams and judges will want to come and look at. The Pit Display can be made up of

several elements, so here are some suggestions to help make you stand out!

• Show a range of ‘behind the scenes’ design work, not just your Design & Engineering Portfolio

• Make sure it’s clear whose Pit Display it is – add your team logo and colours to make it obvious

• Judges love cupcakes. In fact, most people love a freebie, so why not bring something to give away?

• Give it height! To make it visually appealing, having raised items helps create a better look

Remember there is no scorecard for the Team Pit Display, just an award for the Best Team Pit Display,

so have some fun with it! The judges will be looking for interesting and engaging displays, so have a think

about what you could bring along with you. When you compete in the Development and Professional

classes, the Pit Display is assessed as part of the competition, so get some ideas and make sure you find

out what makes a really impressive Pit Display for next year.

THE COMPETITION



Race Day – what to expect

Race Day happens at your nearest UK Regional Final, which brings together all three classes

of the F1 in Schools family. You’ll be sharing the track and pit area with Development and

Professional Class teams, but don’t worry – you’ll only be competing against other Entry

Class teams from your area! This is your chance to check out the competition and ask the

Development and Professional Class teams about the next stages of the competition.

Registration & Car Scrutineering

•When you arrive you'll register with us, where you'll be given some important information including your judging timetable. Then, you must take your car immediately to our Scrutineering area, where our judges make sure your car will be ready to race. Make sure your car is ready to hand in when you arrive!

Welcome Presentation

•After a short set-up period to get your display table set up, we will hold the official welcome and explain the format of the day. Get ready to wave your arms in the air and cheer as your team name is called out!

Research Mission

•Your first task... Using your Research Mission checklists, go around the pit displays and speak to teams, finding out answers to all the questions. The judges will be asking you about these later on in the day!

Judging: Design & Engineering Portfolio

•Our team of expert judges will visit your team pit and look through your portfolio with you. This is a great chance to speak to the judges informally and explain everything you've done and what you've learned!

Judging: Verbal Presentation

•Your team will deliver a 5 minute verbal presentation to our judges, explaining what you have done to get here. The judges will then ask a series of questions related to your research mission, crucially the judges will want to know what you'll do differently when you come back as a Development Class team next year...

RACE!

•You will go head-to-head with another Entry Class team to compete for top spot on our leaderboard. Racing will consist of 2 timed runs in each lane of the 20m F1 in Schools elevated race track.

Judges Debrief & Awards Ceremony

•After all the judging has been completed, the team of judges will gather to discuss their scores and work out who will go home from Race Day with our various awards. Awards will be handed out to teams in all three classes, including the prestigious Entry Class Regional Champions award. Fingers crossed!

•Entry Class awards: Fastest Car

•F1 in Schools Judges Tip: Future Stars Award

•Entry Class top prize: Entry Class Regional Champions
